Welcome to the Party
It is time for the unvieling. After mulling it over for a while my chief advisor and sole volunteer, thus far, and I have decided on a name for our political party. Drumroll please…….. we shall from this point forward be known as “The Renaissance Rednecks” Da Da Da Dum. Now that that is done comes the ardous task of choosing a symbol, a mascot, like the Republican elephant and the Democrat donkey. Three young supporters have offered suggestions: the raccoon, the opossum, and the wild turkey. I love the young people, I value their opinion, even though they can’t vote. They are our future, we had better be nice to them.
(Side note: At this point, were I on television, I would look at the camera pensively, my hand up in a fist, thumb up, pointing and slightly biting my lower lip. This move was, as we know, perfected by President Clinton)
These are all quite good suggestions, though I personally like the wild turkey I am a man of the people. Therefore, which ever of the three aforementioned animals that receives the most comments will be our Renaissance Redneck symbol.
Special thanks to the three young supporters who made the suggestions: Daniel, Rachel, and Tyler.
(More lip biting, thumb pointing etc. etc.)
I think Ben Franklin had it right when he proposed the wild turkey as our national bird since it is truly a native American bird unlike the bald eagle. Does that mean we could have been eating bald eagle at Thanksgiving instead? I presume we ARE talking about a member of the Aves Class and not the 101 proof version. Hmmm?
